Mosquitoes and deer flies will be prevalent this year at the lake. The county is spraying for mosquitoes Tuesday and Wednesday at sundown (8:30 - 10:30). Commissioner Bill Cox said that because it has been a very wet spring conditions are right for mosquito and deer fly breeding.
Cox suggested that people drain pools, waterfalls or standing water or put larvacide on the water to kill as many mosquitoes as possible. Deer flies are another matter as they cannot be killed by the same concentration used for mosquitoes.
Cox said that so far, the mosquitoes which carry the Zika virus have not come as far north as Utah, but still precautions such as repellent should be used.
